What size should I choose?

Use the Marin size guide: 50cm for 5'0"-5'3"; 52cm for 5'3"-5'6"; 54cm for 5'6"-5'9"; 56cm for 5'9"-6'0"; 58cm for 6'0"-6'2"; 60cm for 6'2"-6'4". If you're between sizes, consider your riding style: shorter size for more agile handling; taller size for more relaxed fit.

Can I upgrade the tyres to run tubeless?

Yes — the rims are tubeless compatible. To convert, you need tubeless-specific tyres, tubeless rim tape, tubeless valves, and sealant. This is a worthwhile upgrade for Indian roads to eliminate pinch flats.

How does this compare to a standard road bike?

The Gestalt 1 is heavier and more upright than a dedicated road bike, but significantly more versatile. The wide tyres, disc brakes, and rack mounts make it practical for Indian road conditions. For pure road cycling without gravel or touring use, a dedicated road bike would be faster.
